A light rain was falling, and the night was dark.

There are countless shops in the East Market, row upon row, with a total of four doors. Since the demolition of Jingzhao Mansion began, there have been officials sent by Jingzhao Mansion to guard the four gates, and the entry and exit of personnel are strictly checked every day, lest troublemakers pick quarrels and provoke trouble.

However, at this moment, the south gate has been opened, and the officials guarding the gate have been beaten severely, and they have already fled in embarrassment and rushed back to the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion to report the news. Groups of merchants and vendors poured into the East Market, and torches dipped in fire oil were lit, and thin rains poured on them to make a "zizi" sound, but they could not extinguish it.

Hu Chong held a torch in his hand, stood at the gate of the East Market, and spoke loudly to the crowd of merchants and hawkers and many ordinary people in front of him: "We are all inconspicuous traders, our ancestors have been in charge of cheap business for generations, and no one can afford us!" We will be looked down upon when we walk on the street, and we will be discriminated against when we enter a liquor store, but will we be harmed by nature? We work diligently and diligently, day after day, year after year, earning innocent money and being innocent people! But now, the East Market is about to be demolished in its entirety, and when will it take to rebuild it? How do we make ends meet? Those nobles sitting high on the temple don't care about our life or death at all, they only have the achievements of being officials in their eyes, and they cut off our lives with a wave of their hands! Why should we, these diligent petty traders and peddlers who do not steal or rob, fall victim to the achievements of those nobles? ”

"Why?!"

"Why?!"

The accomplices in the crowd raised their arms and shouted in response, and the people who had been swept in and the scattered vendors were all excited.

Hu Chong looked at the crowd in front of him, pointed his finger at Dongshi behind him, and said loudly: "But even so, we must remember that we can't do things that go against Your Majesty's will!" Your Majesty is a good emperor, but he was deceived by the traitors around him, we are all good citizens, we must abide by the "Tang Law", and we must not embarrass Your Majesty! Now listen to me, after we go in, we will gather in the open space of the demolition, in order to express our dissatisfaction from the bottom of our hearts, so that Your Majesty, the upright people in the court, and the loyal and virtuous ministers can see and hear our appeals, and we hope to stop the demolition of the East Market, and we hope to restore the normal operation of the East Market, so that we can eat and support our families! ”

"I want to eat!"

"I want to support my family!"

"Stop the demolition!"

"Back in business!"

The crowd was clamoring and shouting!

In the end, Hu Chong did not forget to advise: "After entering, we will gather together and shout out our requests, but we must remember that we must not damage every brick and tile in the East Market, smash shops, steal goods, and absolutely never allow it to happen!" ”

This was something that had to be put an end to, and it was enough that their task was to gather the merchants and rally the people to gather here, in order to attract the attention of the imperial court. As long as there is a reason for the gathering of vendors and the dissatisfaction of the people, the rest of the things will naturally be worried about by the bigwigs above the court.

"Let's go in!"

"Let's go!"

Crowds poured into the dark East Market, and then torches lit up in clusters, and the entire East City Center area was as bright as day.

At the same time, people from all over the neighborhood came to support. Some of these people were the bankers of the family, some were tenants, and some were slaves...... Assigned by the family, all of them set off from various lifangs, and hundreds of rivers generally poured into the East City.

Hu Chong wiped a handful of rain on his face, his face was full of excitement, and the blood heat in his body seemed to be burning! Merchants and hawkers and ordinary people gather here just to express their demands, although it is not reasonable, but as long as it does not violate the law of the land, it is not a good thing!

It's just a matter of resisting the demolition of the East Market and hoping to resume normal operations, not wanting to rebel......

After this is done, he will inevitably be favored and reused by the family, just think about the fact that he is about to return to the house with a halo to become the most bullish steward, and become a celebrity in front of the head of the family, a golden avenue is at his feet, Hu Chong is so excited that he wants to howl!

Hundreds of people gathered here, standing quietly in the open space after the demolition, raising their arms and chanting loud slogans!

"I want to eat!"

"I want to support my family!"

"Stop the demolition!"

"Back in business!"

In the silence of the night, a thunderous sound resounded in the sky.

Chang'an shakes!

*****

The eldest grandson had just bathed, and the warm bath bucket removed all the moisture, changed into a day's dry clothes, held the fragrant tea served by the maid in his hand, and did not drink it, but walked to the window, pushed open the window, and looked at the night that was getting darker, his eyes flickered.

Since the afternoon, people have been in and out of the house from time to time, and they are in a hurry and look solemn. The eldest grandson didn't know what these people were doing, he couldn't ask, and he didn't dare to ask, because these people were all his father's cronies, and the real level of trust was even higher than that of his son......

But the eldest grandson is not an idiot, as long as the seemingly sturdy egg is knocked, there will always be a trace of cracks, not to mention that he is a genuine child of the eldest grandson family? With the right to speak in his hands on the "Eastern Tang Dynasty", coupled with his almost established status as the heir of the eldest grandson family, he has too many means to explore the deeper secrets of the eldest grandson family.

It's not that difficult to buy one or two of Daddy's people......

Therefore, the eldest grandson quickly knew the reason for the abnormal movement in the house.

The eldest grandson fell silent.

did not give Fang Jun an early warning at the first time......

Instigating the merchants and hawkers in the East Market to coerce the people to launch a civil uprising?

The eldest grandson had to admit that Jiang was still old and spicy, and his father just sent an inconsequential little person, so he choked Fang Jun's throat tightly.

What is most important to the emperor?

It is not the financial revenue that is rolling in the financial resources, and it is not the imperial hegemony that is brilliant for thousands of years, but the ...... Stable.

Everything must be built on the premise of stability, especially for an emperor like His Majesty Li Er, who seized the country and ascended the throne by virtue of a coup d'état! Because there is a lack of a justifiable confidence, I care about the trend of the court.

Once there is a civil uprising in Dongshi, His Majesty Li Er's first thought is not the purpose behind this, but that this trend must be suppressed as soon as possible.

It stands to reason that Fang Jun, the culprit who caused the Dongmin Change, was the first to stand up and take responsibility......

I believe that my father's plan will definitely not be nothing more, if he can contact a few well-known imperial historians in the Imperial History Observatory and jointly impeach Fang Jun, I am afraid that His Majesty will only be able to break his wrist and abandon Fang Jun.

Someone has to shoulder the responsibility......

The eldest grandson was a little entangled in his heart.

It stands to reason that he should have sent someone to warn Fang Jun as soon as possible. In the past few years, Fang Jun not only did not treat him badly, but also sent the "Dongda Tang Firm" to him to establish his status in the eldest grandson's family, it can be said that his "son" was won by Fang Jun for him.

But at the same time, the eldest grandson could not hide the jealousy in his heart.

The most important thing is that there is an uncontrollable thought in Changsun Lian's mind at this moment - if Fang Jun is disgusted and abandoned by His Majesty Li Er one day, will it be his turn to be the person in charge of the "Dongdatang Firm"?

The "Dongda Tang Firm" was created by Fang Jun, but except for him, the rest are all acting according to orders, and no one can threaten his status.

As long as Fang Jun falls, anyone will have a chance to fight for his position, and his eldest grandson is close to the water, who dares to say that there is no chance?

The blood in his body was flowing uncontrollably faster, and Changsun Jian felt that he was even more excited than when he pressed Changsun Tang's concubine of the dead ghost under him to do whatever he wanted!

Taking a deep breath, the eldest grandson forced himself to calm down, the decision he made when he was impulsive was very likely to be wrong, he had to calmly think about the gains and losses of interests, and calculate the possibilities after making the decision. At the moment, he is in a good situation, and he must not be completely buried because of a wrong decision.

Standing quietly in front of the window, the drizzle in front of him was like a silky dripping, and a cool breeze blew on his body, which gradually cleared his mind.

until the teacup in your hand is slightly cold......

"Someone!" The eldest grandson called out in a low voice.

"In!" A middle-aged man in a green shirt and a small hat walked briskly behind Changsun Juan, who was his most trusted confidant.

"Fang Jun must have rushed to Dongshi at this moment, and immediately went to tell him that someone had instigated merchants and hawkers to stir up a popular uprising, and that he was going to be impeached for this, so that he should be very careful and not make things bigger."

"Whoa!"

The middle-aged man answered, turned around and left.

"Stop!" The eldest grandson called out to the man, groaned slightly, and said softly: "Wait for a cup of tea in the past." ”

Time for a cup of tea...... Presumably, there's no going back there, right?

The tall figure of the eldest grandson stood solemnly in front of the window, his eyes through the lingering rain, and he was far away in the direction of Dongshi.

Friendship?

Benefit?

Which is more important?

Go?

When did you start to become so cold?

Was it the day he hooked up with the eldest grandson's concubine to the bed, or the day he was the last time he was in the city to secretly grow Sun Chong?

I have mixed tastes in my heart......
